Popis: Bronchial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are usually asymptomatic findings noted on imaging but may present with massive hemoptysis following endobronchial rupture. Initial treatment usually involves transcatheter embolization with surgery reserved for refractory cases. Here, we present a patient with large-volume hemoptysis following bronchial AVM rupture. Attempted endovascular management was unsuccessful due to unfavorable anatomy and hemodynamic instability, necessitating emergent use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) followed by right bilobectomy.
